Character Map™ Assessments
Personality Test and Explanation
Find out how to leverage your strengths
Our personality test is based on the work carried out by Carl Jung and then extended by Isabell Myers and Katherine Briggs. It identifies which of the 16 personalities best fits your profile, and highlights your strengths.
The terminology of the different personality types is simply explained and is consistent with that used in many organisations. The assessment output identifies career implications for you as well as suggesting potential job titles, and work environments where you are likely to do best.
Take our Personality assessment to help you explain how and where you work best. Combine with our other assessments to build your Character Map™, differentiate from the crowd, and demonstrate your self-awareness.

Team Role Assessment and Explanation

High performing teams have (amongst other attributes) team members who work in different, but coordinated ways.
These ideas were originally developed by Meredith Belbin, Peter Honey and others and are now regularly discussed in organisations.
Using our unique 'Jigsaw model',you get to consider the implications of your team roles on your career.

Values Assessment and Explanation
Understand how your values influence where you should work
Each of us has their own set of values, and in the work context these values influence how well we feel that we fit the organisation where we work.
This assessment considers 8 key categories of personal values and then identifies the types of organisational culture where there is most likely to be a match. The 'same' job will be very different across different teams / organisations; understanding how your values match to a given role is a strong predictor to success.
